Retinoic acid protects from experimental cerebral infarction by upregulating GAP-43 expression
The aim of this study was to investigate whether exogenous retinoic acid (RA) can upregulate the mRNA and protein expression of growth-associated protein 43 (GAP-43), thereby promoting brain functional recovery in a rat distal middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) model of ischemia. A total of 216 male Sprague Dawley rats weighing 300-320 g were divided into 3 groups: sham-operated group, MCA...
متن کاملArtemisinin prevents electric remodeling following myocardial infarction possibly by upregulating the expression of connexin 43.
Artemisinin has been demonstrated to exert beneficial effects on ventricular remodeling. The present study investigated whether artemisinin was able to decrease the ventricular fibrillation threshold (VFT) in rats following myocardial infarction (MI) and aimed to determine the possible underlying mechanisms. The rats were subjected to surgery to induce MI by ligation of the left anterior descen...
متن کاملRetinoic acid enhances TRAIL-induced apoptosis in cancer cells by upregulating TRAIL receptor 1 expression.
Many human cancer cells are sensitive to killing by the proapoptotic ligand TNF-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL), which is under study for cancer treatment in clinical trials. The TRAIL receptor (TRAIL-R1; also known as death receptor 4) is a transmembrane receptor that mediates TRAIL-induced apoptosis in cancer cells. In this study, we show that retinoids sensitize cancer cells to TRA...
متن کاملRetinoic acid affects gene expression and morphogenesis without upregulating the retinoic acid receptor in the ascidian Ciona intestinalis
Many chordate-specific morphological features develop depending on retinoic acid (RA). We isolated cDNA clones encoding a retinoic acid receptor (CiRAR) and a retinoid X receptor (CiRXR) in the ascidian Ciona intestinalis. CiRAR mRNA was detected in the anterior ectoderm and endoderm during gastrulation. The expression persists in the head endoderm and two discrete regions of the nerve cord in ...
متن کاملAstragaloside IV protects cardiomyocytes from anoxia/reoxygenation injury by upregulating the expression of Hes1 protein.
Astragaloside IV (ASI), a traditional Chinese medicine, is a main active ingredient of Astragalus membranaceus. Many clinical studies have found that ASI protects cardiomyocytes in cardiovascular diseases, but the underlying mechanisms remain obscure. The aim of this study was to investigate the molecular mechanisms responsible for the protective effects of ASI in cardiomyocytes from anoxia/reo...
